About the Artist
Over three years in the making, hip hop solo artist Skrapz brings forth his debut solo release, "The 12 Step Program". After working with with production God, The R.O.C. for nearly 6 years, Skrapz takes a twirl in the production chair for a ride that won't be short lived. Working artistically on such projects as Detroit area House Of Krazees, Halfbreed and most recent effort, Level Jumpers, Skrapz continues his diversity towards unleashing his biggest phenom yet...himself!

Skrapz sways through many cross genres on his latest escapade. Diving into the ocean of punk and rock. But the biggest suprise is in his delivery antics with grooves reminiscent of modern day jungle music and trance. Don't be fooled, this record is Hip Hop in quite possibly it's truest form. With the passion felt for lack of politics and ingenuity in todays rap music, Skrapz emits an outrage in the form of lyrical spells. Entrancing to listeners ear, and encapturing to listeners thoughts.

What will 2005 bring for Skrapz. It's evident in his latest installment that he strives for escape from the concrete ridden industrialism known as Detroit. Don't be suprised to catch him in your neck of the woods sometime this year. After one listen to Skrapz, you will be constantly anticipating his return. This record will be on many turntables, in a lot of cars and listened to through headphones for years to come.

Product Description
The first full-length CD by Detroit area-based Skrapz, "The 12 Step Program" is essential to any underground hip hop, and yes, mainstream listeners cd case. Skrapz proves to hold his own on this super full length l.p. Topics range from home town surroundings disappointment, love quarrels, war protest and of course, mic skills. This debut solo from an MC with a long time group affiliation (Level Jumpers, etc.) is what everyone would expect and more. On tracks such as the stand out "Abuse it," "Bring it back later," and "Fast lane only" (which is some serious drum & bass that hip hop hasn't done right until this!)Skrapz does something he has not done in a long, long time: OWNES. The title proves through tracks like "Cry," "All I know, " and "A better time" that the 12 step program isn't an album promoting drinking or the decline of it, but therapy.

5 out of 5 stars Exciting Music-Outstanding Performance.......2005-11-11

I am in total agreement with Darin Tysdal's comments about this CD and can only add that although each Etude addresses a technical aspect of piano performance, they can more than hold their own as independent, entertaining works. Ms. Dissanayake's performance is impressive, both for her sometimes amusing and always clever interpretations as well as her obvious exceptional technique.

I've had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Dissanayake perform many times as the featured pianist in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's MusicNow series of contemporary music, and can attest that her performances of this often "difficult" music are always outstanding. Chicago critics have called her "extraordinary" and "... (a) ferociously talented pianist"

The release of a second CD of more Etudes clearly confirms that Mr. Rakowski is delighted with this recording and the amazing Ms. D.

5 out of 5 stars Trancendental Pianism for some Trancendental Etudes.......2005-05-31

I couldn't believe that no one has reviewed any of these CD's of Rakowski's etudes! I first ran into them courtesy of Piano Today magazine, where they reviewed "Trillage". I also came upon C.F. Peters' editions of the etudes. When I saw a CD of his piano etudes, I had to have them. There are 22 etudes on this CD in no particular order (which can be frustrating, but Rakowski says that these can be played in no particular order, so why not follow the composer's wishes?). These are actually etudes having to deal with a certain technical feature, and you have a catalog of contemporary piano playing techniques as well as ones that Chopin wrote etudes about. The language is non-tonal (I shouldn't use ATONAL anymore) but sprinkled among them are tonal quotes (Beethoven's Fur Elise and Smoke On The Water) and great references to Jazz and Stride Piano which remind me of Nikolai Kapustin. My favorite is "Schnozzage" which uses the nose. I tried to play this piece-you have to memorize the hands and the nose parts because you can't read the music very well when your nose is in the middle of the keyboard! This etude is also very beautiful and impressionistic-and the nose has a solo! This combination of wicked humor,genuine emotion and feeling is a important part of Rakowski's compositional ethic (I just saw his website!) and very difficult but playable. Amy Dissanayke must be one of the most versatile pianists on the planet to be able to play this music with the same virtuosity, style and elan that each piece calls for. The recording quality is excellent. Do not overook this recording-if you like etudes of Bartok, Bolcom, Ligeti and Dusapin you will love these! Next, a review of more etudes on CD 2. We now need to hear the rest. There are at least 60 in all, I hear.....but he's probably writing another etude at this particular moment that you are reading this review! By the way, Rakowski teaches at Brandeis University.
